Main types of promotional messages
- discount offers
- product launches
- flash sales
- restock alerts
- loyalty rewards
- cross-sell and upsell campaigns

Seasonal and event promotions
Use a focused offer and one clear time frame rather than several overlapping discounts.
Send one reminder before the event and one final reminder on the day.
Helpful bundles often work better than generic “big sale” language.
Celebrate the business milestone with a thank-you offer or gift.
Promotions for service businesses
| Business type | Example approach |
|---|---|
| Salon / beauty | Book this week and receive a complimentary add-on service with your appointment. |
| Clinic / wellness | Seasonal checkup packages are available. Reply for slots and pricing. |
| Training / education | New batch starts Monday. Early registration includes a bonus session or resource pack. |
| Restaurant / café | Weekend combo menus are live. Reply for today’s specials or reserve your table. |
| Repair / maintenance | Book preventive service this month and get priority scheduling. |
Instead of sending every discount to every contact, match the promotion to customer behavior and purchase stage.
